Keytronics keyboard turn up everywhere... Not just on PERQs (all PERQ 
2s...), but also on Apricots, Tektronices (presumably that's the plural 
of Tektronix :-)), Compaqs, Whitechapel MG1s, etc, etc, etc. The good 
news is that the many parts (including the custom chips) will interchange 
between machines.
